The Living Force
Hi, I dont know if anyone noticed but I havent written or posted anything in awhile. Mainly because I had my posting priviledges revoked as I hadnt evolved based on this new information about the world.

I would like to take a moment to express how I felt immediately after I saw that message.

I felt shocked. I felt rejected. I felt like it was a great injustice. However, after taking some time out, I realised that yes, Ana who had notified me as to why I had essentially been banned was right. I hadnt evolved, atleast I hadnt noticed any difference in myself. So I thought to myself, why havent I changed for the better? Why am I still the same as before? It is like joining a new class and not really learning anything... So after some thought, I thought I must indeed be abit like a log for not really grasping what the forum was about and the implications of this on one's own being. That was the only reason I could see for not utilising the knowledge I had gained to evoke change in myself and how I communicated and interacted with others. However, the worst thought was that I had essentially failed at what is probably the most important aspect of life. To learn lessons and gain knowledge and awareness. If I hadnt learnt anything to the effect that I had to be kicked out for essentially that, then what chance did I have of ever evolving my own soul.

Anyways, I decided to start from scratch. Abolish everything and go back to square one. So I managed to get the Cs transcripts and I have been reading through them as I thought, this whole thing is based on the Cs so I might aswell cover all the material and then build up from there. Furthermore, I have been doing the EE. Also, I realised that I had a huge problem, I kept on posting and posting and posting all the time. I suppose you could call me a postaholic. I realized that when you just keep on posting you dont give yourself a chance to absorb information and reflect on it. This also extends to other aspects of my life, where I have a tendency to overindulge and this was just one manifestation.

In the meantime I went on vacation to mainland europe and someone there told me something to the effect of, 'You shouldnt overindulge in anything especially those things that you like, that the key is to develop the will to stop whenever you think enough is enough.' So now I hope I can put that into practise and deal with my 'postaholism' and overindulging in general.

With regard to the postaholism I had experienced, I realised that, that was quite out of character for me as I dont chat on the net nor have I joined other forums. So what was this posting all the time thing all about? Was it about attention? I realised that, no, it wasnt. I dont know how to put this into words, but It is something to the effect of I wanted to taste my own mortality. Deep inside I was looking for the reaction which I got. Why? Because I needed to know where I was. It's easy to forget how fragile and delicately balanced everything is from time to time and I just needed a reminder. I suppose you could say that I needed to deal with my own self-importance.

Anyways, that is that. Atleast now, I have an aim. I want to learn how to evolve my soul. It is not as easy as just reading something and nodding ones head and saying, I got it.

Hi luke wilson,

Welcome back.

Instead of reading the C's transcript which are very difficult to interpret for anyone of us, I encourage you to read the Wave where all the transcripts are very well explained.

You can read the Wave series and Adventures with Cassiopaea online.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I find that useful directions of personal development are rarely straight lines. To be involved with the creative force, some lines must seem serendipitous - lucky - from time to time. Even if, at first glance, they seem unfortunate and are slapped with a "bad for me" value judgment. I can often seem to avoid wrong directions more easily than find right ones, and the consequent changes in direction can make much more sense in hindsight than they do at the time.


Robert Graves' poem about the cabbage-white butterfly alludes to this, I'm thinking.

Flying Crooked

The butterfly, a cabbage-white,
(His honest idiocy of flight)
Will never now, it is too late,
Master the art of flying straight,
Yet has — who knows so well as I? —
A just sense of how not to fly:
He lurches here and there by guess
And God and hope and hopelessness.
Even the aerobatic swift
Has not his flying-crooked gift.

ROBERT GRAVES

All is just lessons. Welcome back! :)
 
Welcome back, luke! I agree with Bud. I'm glad you choose to come back ;)
 
Hi Luke,
Glad you were able to come back anew. I hope you will be able to read some of your postings in which others were trying to get you to try to read much further before posting again. There will be some interesting food for thought, vis a vis why you couldn't hear what was being said.

Keep working and keep up the faith in yourself. I'm rooting for you.

Hi Luke,

I second what Gandalf says. I remember you don't like to read, but one of Gurdjieff's sayings is to do what " 'It' doesn't like."

Welcome back!
 
Hi luke wilson, In cadence with other insightful post, to better insight, and thoughts for new values to attend, bringing monumental changes toward a new FRV.
Congratulation's, and welcome back to the forum. :clap:
 
I dont know what to say after reading through all the replies except thanks to everyone for welcoming me back. I actually never left. I just couldnt interact with everyone. I was more of a lurker.

I like to read now mrs peel. I went on vacation and I found myself spending hours on some days just reading, going through the headlines on sott, reading the forum and other material aswell. It isnt as nasty as it was earlier. I suppose the challenge now is, using the material to move forward and improve/increase ones FRV and contributing to that of the network.
 
Onward and upward Luke. Welcome back. It would've been so easy to tuck tail and never return. Congrats :)
 
Welcome back luke and as well congratulations for your decision. :D

What comes to mind is a quote from the C's and a reply I posted in the EE topic:


wave II p.78 said:
A: [...] You see when you speed too quickly in the process of learning and gathering knowledge; it is like skipping down the road without pausing to reflect on the ground beneath you. One misses the gold coins and the gemstones contained within the cracks in the road. […]

When your thoughts of "postaholism" start, maybe try to remember breathing (pipe-breath) and that it is internal considering. At least sometimes it gives me the chance and a break (like: hold on a minute) to distract myself from internal considerate thoughts from the beginning, before they get "more serious" cause of identification.

It's a tricky part imo, but it's worth a -fight- to know yourself better. :flowers:
